Abstract
Using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1, collected with the LHCb detector between 2011 and 2018, a new narrow charmonium state, the X(3842) resonance, is observed in the decay modes X3842→D0D¯0$$ \mathrm{X}(3842)\to {D}^0{\overline{D}}^0 $$ and X(3842) → D+D−. The mass and the natural width of this state are measured to be

$$ \begin{array}{l}{m}_{X(3842)}=3842.71\pm 0.16\pm 0.12\ MeV/{c}^2,\hfill \\ {}{\varGamma}_{X(3842)}=2.79\pm 0.51\pm 0.35\ MeV,\hfill \end{array} $$
where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The observed mass and narrow natural width suggest the interpretation of the new state as the unobserved (spin-3 ψ3 13D3) charmonium state.
In addition, prompt hadroproduction of the ψ(3770) and χ2(3930) states is observed for the first time, and the parameters of these states are measured to be
